Mechanical Installation
The effective use of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 as a safety guarding device depends on two things:
• the suitability of the application
• the proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the guarded machine.
WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the EZ-
SCREEN Type 2 cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user has the responsibility
to ensure that all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and
use of this control system in any particular application are satisfied. Extreme care should be taken to en-
sure that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical installation and maintenance instruc-
tions contained in this manual are followed.
The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that this EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is installed and interfaced to
the guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with this manual and applicable safety regula-
tions.
This section has two main subsections:
• Considerations in designing the layout of the application
• Mounting the hardware
Pre-Installation Considerations
This subsection describes important considerations before you begin installing the EZ-SCREEN Type 2. The two primary factors that
influence the layout of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System’s mechanical installation the most are the Safety Distance (See
Calculating the
Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) on page 13) and eliminating pass-through hazards (see Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through
Hazards on page 17). Additionally, you will find information on the following in this section:
• Emitter and receiver orientation (see Emitter and Receiver Orientation on page 21)
• Dealing with the affects of adjacent reflective surfaces (see Adjacent Reflective Surfaces on page 19)
• Using corner mirrors (see Use of Corner Mirrors on page 20)
• Installing multiple systems (see Installation of Multiple Systems on page 21)
